Biography Frank Hill Calder

He
owned and operated The American School of Commercial Art in Dallas,
Texas in the immediate years following the Korean War. i.e 1952 and
thereafter. I was enrolled from 1953 to 1955. At the time he was a
highly accomplished artist, specializing in watercolors and of course
oils on occasion.

One of his specialties was rendering
portraits, so to speak, of oil wells for a petroleum company for one
hundred dollars each, which at that time was a goodly sum. These were
done in oil. I have a photo of him in his office among many of his
paintings. I believe that he was originally from Georgia, or somewhere
in that corner of the United States.
